Looks like Buddy, Reke, Galloway and two future draft picks for Boogie

Sacramento has agreed to trade DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans, league source tells @TheVertical.

Deal with the Pels includes guard Buddy Hield, and a 2017 first-round pick to the Kings for Cousins, league sources tell @TheVertical.


quote:

Sources: New Orleans is also sending the Kings a 2017 second-round pick (via Philadelphia) and Tyreke Evans in deal, league sources said.

Sacramento is sending forward Omri Casspi to New Orleans in DeMarcus Cousins trade, league sources tell @TheVertical

----------------------------------------
Per woj
quote:

Kings have had recent discussions with New Orleans on Cousins, sources tell @TheVertical. Sac still debating Cousins' future internally.


I know it was mentioned in the Okafor trade thread but this deserves its own thread imo


UPDATE:

Michael Scotto ?@MikeAScotto 4m4 minutes ago Sources: Pelicans and Kings have discussed a DeMarcus Cousins trade for Buddy Hield and multiple Pelicans first-round draft picks.

if you can make this trade without giving up Davis (obviously) and Holiday.. u pull the trigger without hesitation. thkse 3 alone are an amazing foundation and finally can draw free agents to come here

Likely not to happen, but goddamn that wouldbe the nastiest front court in the NBA.

Again, I'm told discussions of deal for Cousins to NOLA is:
Tyreke (as salary filler), Hield and two #1's (2017/2019 w/no protection).

Would Calipari be our coach eventually?

Hield and two firsts is such an embarrassingly bad offer for cousins. Having trouble believing the Kings are dumb enough to even consider it

Keeping Jrue would be swell.

Sounds like the Kings may like Buddy more than Bender.

Anyone else aggressively refreshing this thread over and over with nothing changing?

Told the packages the Kings are considering are from the Lakers, Suns, and Pelicans, w/ New Orleans the leader. Trade more likely than not. Per CarmichaelDave

This is amazing. I've been so burned out on the pels, this has relight the fire for sure. Warriors biggest weakness is the front court too, will be interesting to see if we can possibly challenge them moving forward.

As someone who only casually follows the NBA and the Pels, does this trade even make the pelicans better? Seems like they gave up a shite ton just to get one impact player


Sorry, I know this has probably been discussed 35 times
